Dropping onto our weight benches category can be a ‘wow, where do I even start’ moment, but never fear we’ll help you dissect them. Let’s start with dumbbell benches, they stand-alone without any rack and can be fixed in one-position or adjust to several angles. As the name suggests, they lend themselves perfectly to teaming up with a pair of dumbbells, they’re insanely versatile, and can double up with a rack for barbell training.

Next up, you have barbell benches. They’re easily distinguished because of the rack attached at the rear, throw them together with a suitable weight set and you have yourself a little home gym already.
